Social movements of many different periods, tendencies, and locations have at least one thing in common: they gather bodies to do things together. This presentation will take up questions of embodiment, corporeality, and movement in relation to forms of protest. Drawing from methods developed by dance and performance scholars, we will focus our attention on what happens with bodies during political mobilizations, strikes, occupations, and riots. How do protests move and use public spaces? Refusing to confine our aesthetic attention to anointed works of choreography, we will look at the dances that take place on the streets, the movement of bodies as they flock and swarm together. We will consider the possible intersections as well as disjunctions between social movements and dance as an artistic field.
